Chapter 55: Using the Same Trick Against the Opponent (A New January, Please Give Me a Guaranteed Monthly Pass!)

Why did the Japanese plane arrive so early?

In fact, Tang Dao also felt a little surprised.

In the past, the Japanese army, after being unable to attack itself for a long time and suffering heavy casualties, finally used aircraft. However, instead of dropping bombs, they flew directly close to the edge of the concession and fired machine guns at the roofs of the buildings.

This did not scare the Chinese defenders in the warehouse, but it frightened the Western 'gentlemen' in the concession. They repeatedly put pressure on the Chinese government, forcing them to order the Sihang Warehouse defenders to retreat into the concession.

Yes, it was not the Chinese and Japanese warring parties that finally ended the battle at Sihang Warehouse, but a group of foreign spectators on the edge of the battlefield who were worried that they would be accidentally injured.

But now, although the Japanese army has suffered setbacks in two consecutive battles, it is only a small defeat. It is not enough to allow them to use fighter planes to drop bombs regardless of the warnings of the Western world. Even if it is machine gun fire, there is still the risk of shooting bullets into the concession.

unless......

"Sir, if the Japanese can dispatch fighter planes to bomb the edge of the concession with just a junior officer, then I will be really impressed by the decentralization of the Japanese military command structure." Tang Dao replied firmly.

"You mean...bluffing?" The lieutenant colonel's brows furrowed deeper.

Tang Dao's words are not unreasonable, but as the top commander in the warehouse, he must be responsible for the more than 400 brothers under his command. It's still the same sentence: you can die, but you can't die worthless.

Obviously, if a bomb was dropped by a Japanese aircraft and killed in a warehouse, it would not only be worthless, but would even contribute to the arrogance of the Japanese army to a certain extent.

"Brother Tang Dao, how sure are you?" Lei Xiong was almost stunned. "What is the purpose of the Japanese doing this?"

He also understood what Tang Dao meant, which was that the Japanese fighter planes were just here to scare people. Do you think the Japanese jet fuel was blown by the strong wind?

"Of course the Japanese dispatched fighter planes to do nothing in vain." Tang Dao listened to the faint buzzing sound in the air, his eyes cold: "I'm afraid they want to see our machine guns!"

At this point, the Army Lieutenant Colonel finally made up his mind:

"Lei Xiong, send someone to the top of the building to observe the height and distance of the enemy plane.

Also, follow orders and then act. Anyone who dares to act without authorization will be subject to military law. "

Although Lei Xiong was a little unwilling, the military orders were overwhelming. The military said that practicing military law was no joke, especially in this kind of war, violating military orders would cause one's head to fall instantly.

"Report, the enemy plane is about 1,200 meters high and about 1,000 meters away from our warehouse in a straight line. It has begun circling in the air and may enter the battlefield at any time to drop bombs." A senior machine gunner ran up to the roof. After visual inspection for a while, he ran Come down and report firmly.

After hearing the machine gunner's report, the Army Lieutenant Colonel's stern face became much more relaxed. He glanced appreciatively at Tang Dao, whose expression remained unchanged, and turned his gaze back to the sky outside the window. He hummed softly: "Platoon Leader Tang is right. The Japanese pirates are really playing tricks on themselves.”

"What do you mean? Lao Lei, do you understand?" Deng Ying, who had been silent all this time, quietly poked Lei Xiong, who was a little embarrassed next to him. "Why can the regiment commander be sure that the Japanese are playing tricks on them?"

Lei Xiong rolled his eyes at him and replied angrily: "How many directions are there in our Sihang Warehouse where the Japanese can drop bombs without dropping them into the concession?"

"Let's go from east to west!" Deng Ying thought about it carefully and gave an uncertain answer.

"That's alright, the Japanese fighter planes are flying from the east to the sea, so they are still circling! Just drop the bombs and that's it." Lei Xiong spread his hands in frustration.

"You stupid little devil, he's just a showman. It seems he won't be able to lower his height, and I won't be addicted to it anymore."

"Hey, Captain Lei, I don't think so." Tang Dao smiled faintly.

"The devils have already taken action. If we don't play with them, won't they be lonely?"

"Haha, that makes sense!" the Army Lieutenant Colonel rarely laughed loudly, but his eyes showed perseverance.

"Order, the No. 1 position of the machine gun company drags the machine guns and heavy machine guns from the traffic trench to the roof of the building and enters the fortifications, and fires at the enemy aircraft. But you must remember that the shooting should not exceed 30 seconds before you immediately withdraw into the building. , No one should be willing to fight. Anyone who violates this will be subject to military law."

"Brothers, let's get to work!" As soon as Lei Xiong heard that he could indulge in the addiction of fucking airplanes, Lei Xiong didn't care to continue talking to Deng Ying, and took big steps towards the roof of the building.

A machine gun squad that was already on standby carried a 200-kilogram machine gun along the traffic trench and entered the fortification. It took almost only two minutes for the machine gun to be ready.

First the heavy machine gun spoke, and then Lei Xiong, who personally sat in the fighting position, controlled the machine gun and started shooting. However, this time Lei Xiong did not empty a bullet plate in one breath like before, but used burst firing to aim. Shooting from two Japanese planes circling in the sky.

The two Japanese planes did not lower their altitude much. After being attacked, they immediately raised their noses and raised their altitude using conventional tactics, and passed over the roof of the Sihang Warehouse at high speed.

Lei Xiong was not reluctant to fight. He immediately jumped out of the fighting position after emptying a springboard, and ordered a group of brothers to run away carrying the machine gun.

Lei Xiong himself was strong, and he stayed in the machine gun company for two or three years, and his prestige was extremely high.

Although the soldiers complained about carrying the heavy machine gun and running away after a few rounds, no one dared to talk nonsense, and the speed of running away was not slower than when entering the battlefield.

The role of strict military orders on the battlefield was finally reflected.

The soldiers who had just carried the heavy heavy guns back and forth and still had some complaints in their hearts knew how wise their superiors were after hiding in the building for a minute.

The Japanese planes had just flown away from the building not far away when the Japanese mountain artillery opened fire. There was almost no test firing. In a round of rapid artillery fire, nearly 20 shells fell on the building in just 30 seconds, and the entire roof was blown into a sea of ​​fire.

This is what Yin Teng Zhonger called "stirring up trouble".

Using the threat of the planes about to drop bombs, the machine guns and heavy machine guns in the warehouse that could be used for air defense were drawn out, and then covered with artillery fire, trying to destroy the machine guns on the Chinese defenders that frightened the tank squadron, paving the way for the infantry's attack.

Tang Dao's judgment was correct. The Japanese at this time were still wary of the Western world that had once knocked open Edo Bay with strong ships and powerful guns, and would never use such a desperate move before the real bayonet was drawn.

The reason that finally made the lieutenant colonel of the army determined to believe in Tang Dao was also correct. The Japanese planes were flying too high.

If the Japanese were really crazy at that moment and wanted to drop bombs in the face of the world's disapproval, in order to increase accuracy, the flight altitude must be at least reduced to 500 meters.

Because, the minimum error of dropping bombs from an altitude of more than 1,000 meters is also 200 meters, and 100 meters away is the concession.

Dropping bombs at that altitude, unless they can be shameless and blindly confident like they did four years later, when they poked the butts of American cowboys in the Pacific and then declared war.

Otherwise, they may face the military force of the Western world without being able to justify themselves.

Westerners look down on poor and backward China, so they can look up to Japan?

That's really overthinking.

In this era, even a hundred years later, there is still a gap between Eastern and Western culture and ideology that is destined to be insurmountable.
